1200 min's and unlimited text's
£130 for N95 8gb
£30 a month
18months

Just rang up for a renewal and the girl wanted £200 and £45 a month for the above deal said I wanted to cancel then and she put me through to another department to cancel and this is what he offered me to stay with them, it sounds to me like a good deal, I pushed for the phone for free but he was having none of it.

Was previously paying £35 (Was coming out at like £80-£120 a month) for 600 mins and 1000 texts, which clearly wasnt enough for me.

If you've been paying 80+ a month they should be offering you a better deal than that.

As Robbo says, N95 wasn't even that when it was new and it isn't new anymore.

Thats what I was saying to him that its not even a new phone, he wanted to give me the C902 for free, which I dont want, I want a Nokia, thats why I said i'll sleep on it and get back to you.

John - for the last 4 months its been £120ish and I dont think its ever been below £80, hence why I want the more minutes and free texts.

What can I say then to get it down more?

What are those companies like? Never thought of going to somewhere like that, looks a bit ropey

Whats the 6220 like? I know the cam is good on the N95, no delay at all. Thats what puts me off other phones.

Edit: Also what is the SE C902 like?

I've used dialaphone for a few years they are well known.

Mobiles.co.uk is part of the Carphone Warehouse group.

Both are fine

The C902 is a nice phone. Seems to better made than the K850i and is smaller/thinner.

Make you mind up which phone you want then find a deal that suits otherwise you could be awhile choosing

That O2 link above is 1200 mins, unlimited texts and is only £45 month. I don't think data usage is free but you can also get cashback and free phone.

You can use your own internet or in a wifi hotspot for free but yeah if yu use it alot then it would cost. However the money saved you could get a data bolton from O2

Didn't know that Robbo, dial tends to do better deals though , same with mobiles.co.uk compared to CPW.

Glad you got it sorted Jay either way, even if it is with an iPhone
